Yes, you want to have drain tile behind your walls that release access water. I did not show our drain tile in this wall. But it does pop up down the hill.
Well, I didn't see anything put in to tie back that wall to keep it from being pushed outward...again. Should have put in a 4 ft piece of crosstie back into the existing wall to stabilize it every other course every 8 to 10 ft.
@@TheMasonGang That's not a railroad tie, is it? That's a treated 6x6. That being said, you did a great job, unfortunately it won't last long. Your deadmen are very short, and you're using treated wood from today. That is treated with copper, and will rot in 5 years being against the ground.
Nice job I learned something new. But you didn't say how much it cost. You bought your ties and those are expensive. I was hoping to use actual railroad ties that weigh alot but when the railroad sells them here in Alaska they're only 5 bucks each!
Looks great!
What about Drain holes?

Where’s the rail road ties????
Instead of using old, oiled down 6x6 lumber, also known as railroad ties, we used treated 6x6 lumber instead.
